If the redness, heat, and pain in your finger are increasing despite using Dakin soaks, it is advisable to apply an antibiotic ointment like Bacitin twice a day and cover it with a bandage. Continue with the soaks when changing the bandage. If the pain and heat persist, it may be necessary to see a doctor as some infections like these may require oral antibiotic treatment.
